A suggestion to try--------Take the face you just carved and get a dark stain, wipe it on the hair and beard area, then wip it of right away, might have to do it a couple of times, just my 2¢
Thank you all. I decided to follow joepaulbutler’s advice and add a little wood stain. I built it up over a few layers, and then added a final wash over the whole piece. This is the final result.
